Q: can a diabetic person typ 2 can use this spray? please respond. Thank you, KT

submitted by KT - 3 years ago
  • A: Hello, we would suggest speaking to your HCP for the best response. Thank you!

  • A: yes, this is safe for a diabetic from a blood sugar perspective because the only sweetener is sucralose (Splenda), which should not raise or spike your blood sugar.

Q: Does this numb my sore throat or only soothe it?

submitted by Wren - 4 months ago
  • A: Thank you for your question. Mucinex® InstaSoothe™ Sore Throat + Pain Relief Spray temporarily relieves occasional minor irritation and pain associated with sore throat, sore mouth or canker sores. This product combines two oral pain relievers, which are benzocaine and menthol. The benzocaine is fast-acting and provides a numbing sensation, and the menthol causes a cooling sensation that helps counteract pain.

    This was horrific, I tried this instead of cloroseptic and it truly feels like I had lidocaine injected into my tonsils and couldn’t swallow properly. It also burned until my whole throat went completely numb and then hurt even worse after it wore off.

    If you are used to normal throat spray. This is not for you. It’s very strong, numbs your whole mouth worse than the dentist office. It’s extra strong!

    I bought this about a week ago. Here is my recommendation: Yes, it will numb anything that it is in contact with and do it rather well. That being said, the delivery of medicine needs to be altered. My entire mouth and lips and throat were numb, as if I had gone to the dentist. But I only needed it in my throat. Consider a longer spray stream straw type thing like on WD40 so that it can reach your throat but miss your vital mouth functions so that you are still able to use the rest of your mouth to eat and drink.

    I was excited when I saw the Mucinex name since I am typically a fan of their products. This spray burned my throat so bad that I felt better before I used it than after. Even a couple minutes later after the burning subsided my throat wasn’t even numb. It was a complete waste of money! Do not purchase!

    I could not find Chloraseptic, so tried this spray. Note the instructions to use one spray, then spit/rinse it out. I missed the rinsing out part. The taste was horrible, made my throat sting extremely badly for 30 seconds, then my tongue started swelling to the point I was afraid I would not be able to breathe. I started to head to the ER. Swelling subsided after five minutes, and then the numbing kicked in for an hour or so. I won't use it again.

    I bought this for my wife less than 2 hours ago. She took two pumps and immediately had a negative reaction. Lips and tongue started to get a bit swollen and for a few minutes she could not even talk and got into panic mode. Luckily washing it out with water helped out and reduced the negative effect.

    I am not a wuss when it comes to medicine. But there is something deeply wrong with this product.
